We specialise in Survival training, our survival courses are run by highly experienced survival and close protection experts, we provide no-nonsense, high quality, survival instruction & advice to people from all walks of life with any level of experience.
We don’t teach theoretical techniques which can’t be used in the real world, we stick to proven tried and tested methods which actually work in real situations.

You will then be instructed on reflectors for heat & protection, fire pits, fire lighting with out matches wet & dry including fire maintenance, we then move onto signals for rescue
 
In the afternoon we will show you how to find filter & purify your own water and then we take you on a plant id walk to teach you how to identify wild foods and how to prepare them, you also have trapping to learn including game preparation and you will be shown how to navigate using the stars and the sun.
This course is designed specifically for people who what to get a real taste of a survival experience in a safe and controlled environment on your second day you will be given a survival scenario with only limited resources and introduced to more of the stresses of survival.
